Good morning. This is what happened in the world of travel this week: Friday 23rd May2025ST PAUL’S is home to a giant new Market Place Food Hall (see above) with cuisines from around the world. This will put the City back on the tourist map with very few offerings in the evenings and on weekends. Hoping to capture the office crowd and late-night revellers, it’ll be open from 8.30am until 10pm offering up live DJs and comedy nights.

Good morning. This is what happened in the world of travel this week: Friday 16th May2025THE SUN is out and everyone’s thoughts are turning to summer holidays but the stressful part is where to go and how much it is all going to cost. And so the hottest rivalry of 2025? Benidorm vs the Balkans and the Baltics. It’s the battle of the hotspots and which are cheapest.

Good morning. This is what happened in the world of travel this week: Friday 9th May2025IS IT true that travelling with other people is… boring? Yes, we said it! When you’re on your own you can go where you like, at what time you like and how you like. You don’t have to worry about someone else wanting to eat here and there across the city when you’re more into hikes and you’re happy to grab grub wherever you are.

ONCE upon a time going on holiday seemed simple: everyone went to France, Spain or Italy. Now holidaymakers opt for the Caribbean, Mexico and Thailand. Flicking through our own Chalkmarks photo album there’s not many classic hols there, but instead Singapore, Peru and South Korea. Fast forward to this year, we’ve already been to Brazil and South Africa – and we’re planning on China next. It’s a world filled with wonder so why stick to Europe.

Good morning. This is what happened in the world of travel this week: Friday 25th April2025CHALKMARKS cracks the (suit)case: I’ve got £500, should I spend it on a holiday or save it? Travel! Because what you get with travel is much more than sun, sand and sea – but new experiences, excitement and exploration. And you really can’t put a price on that – it’s worth a lot more. What your money actually pays for though is the transport and the accommodation. Are they worth £500?
